I need LO to do what I told it to do, which is render my English text in vertical writing mode. Now, given the information at the links - if the larger-piece-of-text is in a CJK language/script but contains a smaller-piece-of-text in Western script, or even in a Western language - then it would be acceptable for LO to diverge from literal conformance to the settings made. But even then, the default should probably be some kind of reasonable heuristic. An override of the heuristic should not necessitate setting a value for each and every stretch of Western-script text in a CJK document - that is very cumbersome. > Implementation of a "stacked" writing-mode for paragraphs and for frames is > missing. If you want such, please write an enhancement request. LO claims to offer vertical writing mode, and instead rotates. Fixing this is fixing a bug, not making an enhancement. It is also may be considered kind of a bug to conflate rotation of stretches of text with the writing direction, but I don't have a strong opinion on that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
